President Bush to Welcome PM of Portugal
Statement by the Press Secretary

President Bush will welcome Portuguese Prime Minister
Durao Barroso to the White House on June 6, 2003 for a meeting and
working luncheon. Portugal has stood from the first hour among
America's closest allies in the war on terrorism and the effort to
bring peace and democracy to Iraq, and was host of the March 16
"Atlantic Summit" in the Azores. Portugal is a valuable founding
member of NATO with a deep-rooted commitment to transatlantic
cooperation.
